Chapter Seven

Zane dreamed, only it was different from any he'd ever had before. He wasn't even meeting Raquel in their shared garden, which he'd only sort of started to remember he did. No, this was a memory and one he hadn't known he'd had.

"Do we know what this meeting is about?" his love asked him, leaning her head against his arm while they sat down to wait for the others to arrive. So many lifetimes they'd already been together and yet every time they came back to the otherness, to the place where their souls met to be reborn, he experienced the most immense relief.

What if they were separated? How would he go through a lifetime without feeling her soul press against his?

The fates wouldn't be that cruel, would they? He looked down at the Moon. She dictated their lives and she might be if she saw fit…

"A challenge has been set to you."

The voice that boomed in the room was body-less and chanted more than spoke. He pulled his love against him. When the eternals spoke, they all listened.

"We cannot force you to accept, any of you. But, if you do, you will be in a battle that will go lifetime after lifetime until one side definitively wins. Whichever side does, will have free run of all dimensions and galaxies. And so help the innocent souls when that happens."

There weren't that many Outsiders to take on such a challenge. Two hundred souls and not all of them brave enough to do what was being asked. He'd bet his right arm that he knew which demons had issued a challenge to them. The four sons of bitches that he faced all of the time. Over and over again. Father, mother, and their two offspring. Huge pains in the ass.

Outsiders weren't, by nature, inherently good; their role in life was to keep the balance of things in order. But, when it came down between the demons and everyone else? They always fought on the side of good.

"Sounds like a blast," his love whispered in his ear. "Where do we sign up to fight forever?"

He shook his head. She always made him want to laugh at the most inappropriate of times.

"There will be compensation." The voice again. "If the idea of giving eternal peace to the universe isn't enough for you—"

He seriously doubted it would be enough for any of them. They already did enough self-sacrifice without needing more.

"You'll never have to be separated from your other

half again. We need nine couples. You'll always be together, every lifetime. Never to be without the other."

He turned his head to look at his other half. She chewed on her lip like she could still feel her mouth. It was a habit of a lifetime she brought with her to the other world. They had no pain where they currently resided, chewing on her lip would do nothing to cause a reaction inside of her at all. Of course they had no pleasure either.

Sex was a very corporeal, living thing to do.
